setting output precision

["Prof. J. E. Cremona" <John.Cremona@nottingham.ac.uk>]

Is there an easy way in gp to do computations to high precision (say, 
100) but only output in low precision (say, 10)?  I know that I can 
achieve this by adding lots of lines like
default(realprecision,100);
default(realprecision,10);
in my script, but thought there might be a better way of just turning 
down the precision for output only.

This is in a computation where intermerdiate stages have to be done to 
high precision but (of course) I only need the result to low precision.
